STRAY THE COURSE

In 1995, I found myself sitting in a trailer unable to sleep. I had very little in the way of values. I had no direction, no plan and no hope. I was trying to cure a soul sickness by filling myself with drugs, alcohol and anything else that would give me a temporary reprieve from misery.. I was a lost soul facing jail time, and most likely in the not-so-distant future, death. The universe had other plans. Here I am, all these years later, alive and kicking, grateful for the opportunity to have a second (and third) chance at really living life. This is a podcast about my journey discovering who I really am through talking to you about who you are.
